Marked by his unrelenting work ethic, Dustin was awarded the “ Glassmen of the year” in 2002 and 2003 for outstanding leadership and dedication to the organization. Now, as an offer of thanks to the outstanding educators of his past, Dustin spends his free time giving back invaluable knowledge and opportunities to young and aspiring students across the nation .
